Can HPV Genital Warts Be Treated With Aldara?
I have been using Aldara for HPV genital warts. I just shaved and didn t notice any bumps, just redness where the bumps used to be. Could it be that the warts are gone and the remaining redness is just a side effect of the Aldara? Should I stop using Aldara?

Hi,
Redness of genitals following the application of Aldara could quite possible due to the after effect of the application.
Wait till the redness subside and if there are no warts, you can be sure that you had been cured completely.
How long had you used ALDARA? It has to be used not less than 6 weeks for a better effect.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
